<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 8124201, member: 110350&quot;]I do too. I&#039;ve bought from Helios on a number of occasions over the years. I particularly like their Roman glass, such as this vase I bought from them in January of this year:</p><p><br /></p><p>Dealer&#039;s description: Roman, 1st Century AD, blue/purple glass vase with wide folded rim and piriform [pear-shaped] body; surface has areas of vivid violet and blue iridescence. 12.4 cm high, 5.7 cm wide. <i>Purchased Jan. 2021 from Helios Gallery, UK. Ex. Collection of Eric Moussel (1953-2019), Nogent-sur-Marne, France, acquired in Paris.</i></p><p><br /></p><p>Dealer&#039;s photos:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/1-roman-glass-vase-helios-gallery-jpg.1247671/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/2-roman-glass-vase-helios-gallery-jpg.1247673/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/3-roman-glass-vase-helios-gallery-jpg.1247674/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>With my own camera, even though I can see the violet/purple with my eyes in certain light at certain angles, I couldn&#039;t capture it in photos. Instead, it looks more dark blue, but that&#039;s accurate as well depending on the lighting. I hope you can see why I think it looks like the night sky:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/blue-roman-vase-1-jpg.1247679/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/blue-roman-vase-2-jpg.1247680/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/roman-blue-vase-4-jpg.1247682/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
